Isobel looked up at her husband who was flipping through the manuscript, closed the newspaper in his hand and sighed softly.
Last night, Albert went out for a walk, and as a result, so many breaking news appeared in the Daily Prophet today.
Even though Albert came back very early last night, Isobel knew that Albert had a time turner in his hand.
"What's wrong?" Albert asked, turning his head.
"Britain is not safe now. Don't go out at night in the future." Isobel leaned over and kissed Albert's forehead and said, "Otherwise, I will be worried."
"Sorry for making you worry." Albert was quite helpless. It was not surprising that Isobel saw the problem from the newspaper.
"Okay, I forgive you." Isobel took out two books and waved them in front of Albert, "But you have to read this with me later."
"Baby Raising Guide"?
"Yes, everyone at home is watching this now, so of course you have to watch it with us."
"Of course it's no problem. After I finish reading this manuscript, we will read it together." Albert felt a little guilty about his dereliction of duty. He knew that he had to take on the responsibility of a father, so as not to let Isobel bear it.
pressure.
Moreover, Isobel was right, Albert did not have any experience. Although he, an irresponsible father, had planned to hand over the responsibility of taking care of the baby to others, he still needed to understand it and do his best to be a good person.
A father's responsibilities.
This is actually quite pleasant.
Katrina occasionally joined the discussion, and with Mrs. McDougal's help, they made a list of items that would come in handy as the family prepared for the arrival of the new baby.
They even thought about the name of the child. If it is a boy, it will be called Blair, in memory of Isobel's father, Blair. If it is a girl, it will be called Alice. The name comes from the Muggle fairy tale, Isobel.
Bell hopes that his daughter can live happily and not have a bad childhood like her.
"Do you like boys or girls?" Isobel looked away from the book and looked sideways at Albert, who was asking Mrs. McDougal for advice.
"The boy is so noisy," Albert said with a smile, "the daughter is daddy's little cotton-padded jacket."
"Daughter?" Isobel caressed her belly and murmured.
"What daughter?" Katrina asked doubtfully.
"If you like a boy, just ask for one when the time comes." Albert gently comforted Isobel. In fact, he really didn't care about the gender of the child.
"It's just cheating," Katrina muttered.
She was more curious about how Isobel guessed it.
Through Legilimency?
still……"
"Generally, for more important things, Albert will divine them in advance." Isobel met her sister's gaze and explained: "With Albert's character, the gender of the child will probably be the reason why he likes it."
Katrina opened her mouth slightly, and she suddenly discovered that there was a magical tacit understanding between Albert and Isobel.
"Then will this book be a big seller?" Katrina changed the topic.
"I don't know." Albert shook his head and said, "But I think the sales volume will not be too bad at least. After all, as long as it is practical, most families are willing to keep a copy."
"Okay dear, don't worry about the child."
Albert kissed Isobel's depressed cheek and said, "We are still young, and we can take care of it even if we need a few more. Moreover, I predicted that there will definitely be more than one child."
"I'm not a pig."
Isobel was a little depressed, Albert really needed an heir.
"There are many children in the Weasley family."
"where did you go?"
"It seems there is news about me."
Albert took the two-way mirror handed to him by the house elf, and in the mirror was the slightly tired face of Percy Weasley.
"You look like you need some rest."
"I've been working overtime in the past few days." Percy smiled bitterly, "Congratulations on your marriage."
"Thank you. I think you contacted me not just to talk about this matter." Albert went directly to the topic.
"The appeals of Duke Bee and the owner of Zuko's Joke Shop have been rejected by the Ministry of Magic on the grounds of insufficient evidence." Percy thought for a moment and said, "As for the culprit who attacked the shop, we have already arrested him. Remember Kenneth?"
Toller?"
"That guy's father?"
"Yes, Mr. Toller tried to get a piece of the pie in the field of defense against the dark arts through inferior products, but he almost lost his underwear because of the Ministry of Magic's exclusive product." Percy said with a helpless smile, "He recruited a group of unlucky people who also lost money, thinking
To bring down your store and regain the market, there are Death Eaters behind this riot, and several stores that compete with you have provided partial financial assistance in some way."
"Duke Bee and the owner of Zuko's joke shop?"
"With just a confession, it's a bit difficult to cause trouble for them." Percy reminded.
"I know, thank Minister Scrimgeour for me." Albert didn't give Percy a chance and turned off the double-sided mirror.
"In just a few months, that guy is looking more and more like a politician." Albert muttered.
With that said, he went to the study room where the double-sided mirror was placed, and contacted Fred and George through the mirror.
"Has the matter over there been resolved?" Albert asked.
"solved."
"You'd better move out as soon as possible." Albert reminded, "There are shadows of Death Eaters in this matter. It's no longer safe for you to stay there."
"Well...Sirius invited us to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and his family also hopes that we can move there."
"You decide for yourself." Albert interrupted, "However, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix is protected by the Loyalty Curse, and none of us can enter."
Fred and George were both stunned for a moment, understanding what Albert meant.
"Well, you're right. We have to continue to run a specialty store to provide goods. It's really inconvenient to stay at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters and it's easy to disturb others." George nodded and said, "It's better to go to the safe house you prepared. It should be much more convenient.
."
"If you have time, take some time to contact Joko and see if he is willing to join us." Albert warned.
"I don't think the possibility is high." Fred shook his head and said, "That guy probably hates us now."
"Their monopoly appeal has been rejected." Albert reminded.
"When did this happen?"
"I just received the news." Albert continued, "You tell Joko directly that if he does not want the store to close down and give up this business, joining us is his best choice at the moment. As for the issue of utilization distribution, if he is willing
If so, we’ll talk about it then.”
"What if he doesn't want to?"
"Then we will wait until his store closes down, then acquire his store and reopen a branch in Hogsmeade." Albert said calmly, "If Zuko is sensible enough, he will definitely agree to our win-win proposal.
"
"By the way, have you read the latest newspaper?" When talking about this matter, Fred was extremely excited, "It seems that Malfoy Manor was burned to ashes by someone, and I don't know who little Malfoy is.
Were the bastards burned to death together?"
"It should be revenge." Albert began to open his eyes and tell the truth, "After all, Lucius Malfoy used to be the second-in-command of the mysterious man. He has done many bad things and must have many enemies. Those with vengeance.
It’s not strange to add insult to injury now and ask me to do the same.”
